AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OHIO 1048 AM EDT SUN JUL 30 2006 .SHORT TERM UPDATE (THIS AFTERNOON)... WATCHING COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING MOVING SE OVER LAKE MICHIGAN. SATELLITE AND RADAR TRENDS SHOWING THIS AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TRACKING MORE IN A SSE DIRECTION. INCREASED POPS ACROSS WESTERN AREAS FOR THE AFTERNOON. HELD HIGH CHC POPS IF THIS AREA CONTINUES MORE TOWARDS THE SOUTH AND ONLY CLIPS THE WESTERN PORTION OF FORECAST AREA. THIS FEATURE WILL REQUIRE MONITORING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AS FOR REMAINDER OF FORECAST AREA MAINTAINED CHC POPS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. T-STORM OCCURRING AT THIS TIME ACROSS SRN ASHLAND CTY. EXPECTING THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON WITH MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE. && .AVIATION (12Z-12Z)... FOG SHOULD IMPROVE BY MID MORNING AT ALL SITES. TSTORM COMPLEX OVR W GRTLKS SHOULD DISSIPATE BFR GETTING NR FCST AREA ALTHOUGH UNSURE IF NEW ACTIVITY COULD DEVELOP FROM OUTLFOW BOUNDARY THIS AFTERNOON. WILL NOT FCST ANY THUNDER IN TAFS AT THIS TIME. WITH HIGH DEWPOINTS MVFR FOG WILL REDEVELOP AGAIN TNGT WITH SOME IFR VSBY AROUND SUNRISE. && .SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)... MUCH OF THE SAME AS YESTERDAY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING...AS EARLY MORNING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN FROM NORTH DAKOTA TO NEW ENGLAND. SERIES OF WAVES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE STRONG 500MB FLOW HAVE ALLOWED MORE CONVECTION TO DEVELOP UPSTREAM WITH EVEN A FEW SHOWERS DEVELOPING OVER LAKE ERIE AND DRIFTING INTO NW PA/SW NY THIS MORNING. STRONG UPPER RIDGING CONTINUES TO OVERWHELM THE CENTRAL PART OF THE COUNTRY WHERE TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT HAS BEEN FELT FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. AS THIS RIDGE AND ITS ASSOCIATED WARM AIR MOVES EAST...PRIMARY FOCUS WILL BE ON THE CHANCE OF PRECIP TODAY AS WELL AS ON TEMPS MONDAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THE 00Z NGM AND THE WRF INITIALIZED WELL AND ARE BOTH OUTPERFORMING THE GFS THROUGH 6HRS. GFS LOOKS TO BE SUFFERING FROM A BIT OF CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK UPSTREAM NEAR MINNESOTA AND THIS COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ABUNDANT QPF SHOWN BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z. GFS LOOKS TOO AGGRESSIVE IN ITS ADVERTISEMENT OF AN INTENSE SHORTWAVE DIVING SOUTHEASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON...HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME LOCATING ANY SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVES ON THE WATER VAPOR LOOP THIS MORNING LET ALONE ANYTHING THAT RESEMBLES THE GFS FORECAST. WRF AND NGM SHOW WIDELY SCATTERED PRECIP DEVELOPING LATE IN THE DAY MAINLY EAST OF A CLEVELAND TO CANTON LINE AND HAVE OPTED TO MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS IN THIS AREA BUT BACK OFF TO SLIGHT CHANCES ELSEWHERE AND TO REMOVE MENTION OF PRECIP AT TOLEDO AND FINDLAY FOR TODAY. WRF SHOWING A MODERATE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TODAY BUT SIMILAR AMOUNTS OF CAPE AND SHEAR WERE PRESENT ON SATURDAY AND NOTHING DEVELOPED. BEST MID LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT IS ALSO CONFINED TO AREAS NORTHEAST OF CLEVELAND AND CONTINUE TO THINK THIS WILL BE THE FAVORED AREA FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. FOR TONIGHT...AM EXPECTING A REPEAT OF EARLY THIS MORNING WHERE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED AND MOVED THROUGH NW PA/SW NY. MAINTAINED LOW CHANCE POPS IN THE FAR NORTHEAST COUNTIES THROUGH MONDAY MORNING AND EVEN HELD ONTO SLIGHT CHANCES IN THIS AREA UNTIL MONDAY AFTERNOON. ONCE THE RIDGE BUILDS IN...ENTIRE FORECAST AREA WILL BE PRECIP FREE. OTHER CONCERN IS WITH TEMPS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS THE STRONG UPPER RIDGE MOVES DIRECTLY OVERHEAD TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. WARM TEMPERATURES THAT HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL BE ADVECTED EASTWARD STARTING ON MONDAY AND POTENTIALLY LAST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MAV GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE THE OUTLIER MONDAY AND TUESDAY...RUNNING ABOUT 4-5 DEGREES WARMER THAN THE MET AND FWC. GIVEN MAV PERFORMANCE DURING LAST HEAT WAVE...AM INCLINED TO TRIM A FEW DEGREES OFF OF ITS FORECASTED TEMPS AND GO WITH A BLEND OF THE MET/FWC MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THIS WOULD YIELD HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S MONDAY...MID TO UPPER 90S ON TUESDAY. THINK THAT ABUNDANT SOIL MOISTURE WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM REACHING THE TRIPLE DIGITS THIS WEEK BUT AM CONCERNED THAT SOME LOCATIONS MAY REACH HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR A FEW HOURS MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AT THIS POINT HAVE OPTED AGAINST ANY HEADLINES SINCE THERE IS STILL SOME DOUBT ABOUT EXACTLY WHICH COUNTIES WILL EXCEED CRITERIA BOTH DAYS...ALSO SOME CONCERN THAT HEAT INDICES MAY BE HOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A WARNING. WILL ALLOW COMING SHIFTS TO REVIEW NEW GUIDANCE AND DETERMINE IF ANY HEADLINES ARE WARRANTED. && .LONG TERM(WED-SAT)... COLD FRONT IS THE FOCUS OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST. COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE FORECAST FOR THU MORNING...SLOWER THAN THE GFS AND MORE IN LINE WITH THE TIMING OF THE DGEX. PRIOR TO FROPA....HEAT WAVE WILL BE IN ITS FINAL DAY. TEMPS AGAIN AROUND OR ABOVE 90. LOW CHC POPS FOR POSSIBLE PREFRONTAL TROUGH BEING PICKED UP BY DGEX AND 12ZGFS. INCREASED POPS FOR FROPA. BEHIND THE FRONT TEMPS RETURN CLOSE TO NORMS TO FINISH OUT THE WEEK...BUT A WARMUP BEGINS LATE IN THE WEEKEND FOR THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK WITH ANOTHER BIG CENTRAL U.S. RIDGE. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .OH...NONE. .PA...NONE. && SHORT TERM UPDATE...ABE SHORT TERM...LEINS LONG TERM...OUDEMAN AVIATION...KOSARIK
